4 Claims. (Cl. 206-56) of this type which can be easily and quicklyoperl ated in a clock-wise or counterclockwise direction to effectautomatic opening of the holder cover and projection of the lipsticktherebeyond and retraction of the lipstick into the holder and closingof the cover. v

A still further object of the invention is to provide means forautomatically latching the cover or closure cap in open and closedposition, so that accidental opening thereof is prevented.

The invention has still further and other objects which will be laterset forth and manifested in the course of the following description.

In the drawing:-

Figure 1 is a side'elevation of the invention;

Figure 2 is a section on line 2--2 of Figure 1;

Figure 3 is a detail view in side elevation showing the cover or capwith a part of its operating mechanism;

Figure 4 is a section on line 4-4 of Figure 2;

Figure 5 is a view similar to Fig. 3 showing the closure latched in openposition.

In proceeding in accordance with the present invention a preferablycylindrical casing 1 is em ployed, flared at its outer end 2 andterminating in a circular flange 3. A semi-spherical or dome like member4 has its lower end projecting into the. flange 3 and is provided withan out-turned lug 5 frictionally engaged in a cut-out 6 formed in theflange 3, although obviously any other suitable means may be providedfor securing the dome 4 to the casing 1. The crown of the dome isprovided with a circular opening '7 which latter is controlled by acover or cap 8. This cap is of circular dished form and is provided witha pair of diametrically depending arms 9, each of which arms has apintle 10 extending through an opening provided therefor atdiametrically opposite points on the dome 4 whereby to mount the cap forswinging movements. One of the arms 9 is provided with an ofi-set forkedprojection 11 and between the furcations there is received a finger 12which is preferably struck-out froma sleeve 13. From Figure 3 it will beseen that the projection 11 is angularlyrelated to the longitudinal axisof the sleeve 13, consequently upon axial movement of the sleeve it willbe apparent that the cap 8 through the medium of the angular projection11 and the arms 9 will be swung into and out of register with theopening 7 of the dome 4 thereby to cover and uncover same. f

The sleeve 13 has a bead 14 therearound which in one position engages aring 15 secured to the casing 1 in any suitable manner. The sleeve 13 isfurther formed with a longitudinally extending or axial slot 16 and issurrounded by a second sleeve 1'7 which latter has a spiral slot 18 intowhich projects a pin 19 secured to a sleeve 20 which latter is withinthe sleeve 13. A head 21 has a flange 22 which is rigidly secured to thesleeve 13, the head 21 being knurled as shown in order to afford afinger grip for rotating same and thereby the sleeve 13. A coil spring23 bears against the bottom of the sleeve 20 for the purpose oftensioning same so as to facilitate the projection of the sleeve 13.

In operation, with the parts in the position of Figures 1 and 2, it willbe seen that upon clock: wise movement of the head 21 the sleeve 13 willbe initially turned thereby causing its finger 12 to rock the projection11 and swing the cap 8 to open position, and continued rotation of thecap 89 21 causes the lipstick carrier 20 by virtue of the pin and slotconnections 19 and 18 to move outwardly thereby projecting the l pstickout of the holder. When the finger 12 has swung the cap 8 completelyopen, the finger will pass out of the furcations of the arm 11 so thatthe sleeve 13. can

rotate without further movement of the cap.

When the head 21 is rotated counter clock-wise the carrier 20 will beretracted in the casing and when the finger 12 of the sleeve 13 againenters 90 the furcations of the arm 11 the cap will be swung in areverse direction to close the opening 7.

For the purpose of latching the cover in open and closed position asplit ring 23 is employed which is attached to the sleeve 13 with itssplit 'in register with the projection 11 of one of the arms 9 so thatwhen the cover is open and the sleeve 13 is in its projected positionthe adjacent side edge of the projection 11 will be engaged by the upperside-of the ring 23 thereby latching the cover in open position.-Likewise and as shown in Fig. 3 when the closure is in closed positionthe arm is contacted by the split ring 23 thereby latching'the closurein its said closed position. It will further be noted that the ring 15seats on top of the sleeve 1'7 and engages the periphery ofthe sleeve 13so as to facilitate movement of the latter.

Having thus described my invention what I 110 claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is:

1. A lipstick holder including a container having an outlet, a closurefor controlling the outlet pivoted to the container, a forked memberconnected to the closure to move therewith, a rotary sleeve in thecontainer having a projection movable into and out of engagement withthe forked member, and a member extending peripherally of the sleeve andengaging the forked member to latch the closure in closed position, saidmember upon rotation of the sleeve to open the closure also engaging theforked member to latch the closure in open position.

2. A lipstick holder including a container having an outlet, a closurefor controlling the outlet pivoted to the container, rotary means withinthe container, means operable by said rotary means for operating theclosure and which upon predetermined rotation of the rotary means isrendered inoperative, and means carried by the rotary means andengageable with the closure for latching same in closed position andalso in open position upon said predetermined rotation of the rotarymeans.

3. A lipstick holder including a container having an outlet, a closurefor the outlet pivoted to the container and having an arm, rotary meansin the container having means engageable with said arm, means wherebyupon predetermined rotation of the rotary means said means of the rotarymeans will be disengaged from said arm of the closure, and a memberdisposed peripherally of the rotary means for engagement with the saidarm to latch the closure in both open and closed positions.

4. A lipstick holder having a head on one end thereof formed with anopening, a closure within the holder for controlling said opening andhaving opposed arms one of which is bifurcated, means to pivotally mountthe arms of the closure within the head, a rotary member in the holderhaving a projection to engage in the furcations of said arm, a lipstickcarrier in the holder, an element carried by the rotary member andengaging said arm in open position of the closure for latching theclosure, and means to effect rotary movement of the rotary memberthereby to initially swing the closure to open position and to disengagethe projection from said arm and to subsequently project the lipstickout of the opening.
